| The theme of the 2008 Annual Scientific Meeting is "Resilience in an Aging Society: Risks and Opportunities." Resilience is an inclusive concept that spans generations, takes a life-course perspective, and embraces comparative international perspectives. In the broadest sense, resilience is about maintaining positive adaptation in the face of adversity. Resilience may be a dynamic process influencing the ability to deal with and learn from experiences or use social support to enhance coping. Society, communities, families, environment, and policy can play a critical role in promoting resilience. |
